My Beach

A man sits on a beach and contemplates his loneliness.

 

Grains of sand on a pristine beach

I gaze in awe at the turquoise Gulf

Ospreys circle seeking morning prey

Sandpipers scurry to shun the eddy

 

Sunlight rides the rainbows edge

Across the horizon waters remain steady

My day has started breath of sea air

To bask in this warmth be my only pledge

 

Lost in this paradise I seek no fame

Inside my world no cross to bear

Solitude surrounds none calls my name

This Eden creation with no one to share

 

Isolation this prison of my own creation

I park on my beach salty tear on my cheek

The space before me longing the be filled

Someone to share my greatest design

 

Encircled by others oblivious to my presence

They see me not to exist in their eye

No acknowledgment of my true essence

This beach this sand these birds on the fly

 

My fate to be alone no mate for my soul

My mortality creeps ever so measured

In my life I have but one true goal

Find the one who’s love I will have treasured

 

Bobby

The beach can be the most beautiful place to be or the most loneliest. You have perfectly described the scenario, the emotions that captured the longing in your beautiful heartfelt poem ... You are a wonderful writer, Bobby!

Great imagery, and well expressed loneliness. Thank you for sharing!
